Asian Stores Have Great Cultivation Supplies * 1
    #23561077 - 08/20/16 07:45 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

hello friends, just wanted to share a tip that has been really handy for me lately:

Asian grocery stores /supermarkets have GREAT cultivation tools, some killer stuff i couldnt find anywhere else. a lot of this comes from the fact that lots of asian families have someone who cooks for the whole family, and they use super-sized kitchen utensils, and also many asian restaurants shop at these asian stores. 

For example:

Giant stock pot with steamer insert, at least 51qt, and huge wooden spoon:


giant 2 level steamer, bottom is perfect for simmering huge amounts of grain, or can use the racks for pasteurization:


my favorite, HUGE collanders (and if you are really slick you might even bring home a nice asian girl to help you stir the grains :wink: :



Telephone Brand Agar Agar powder (cheap and works great):


all this stuff is dirt cheap, and this is just scratching the surface. as common as materials like this are in SE Asia it certainly must come in handy for the mushroom cultivatiors who have such a long tradition in those areas. the Thai Royal Mushroom Project is simply amazing, i want one of their tshirts so bad :smile:

warm regards

i have tested it beside high quality stuff from lab supply stores and i have seen no difference, i always use it in a pinch :wink:

And the thai Royal Mushroom Project (the other RMP, to any canadians out there, dont ask the royal mounted police for help growing mushrooms!) the thai king makes loans of all the materials involved in setting up mushroom farms in rural areas and teaching people how to grow long term. here is a link to a pdf on aloha's site mentioning it

And i cant recommend those colanders enough, truly enormous! they have cut my grain prep time dowh to nothing, i throw the steaming grains up in the air and the steam dries them almost instantly :cool:

So you brought home a random girl from the store to help you manufacture a schedule I substance? That was dumb.

we all know the real reason he brought her home was because her tiny hands can easily fit thru narrow mouth qt jars and clean them faster than any western woman

The schedule I substance I'm talking about is psilocybin. Since you're posting in a forum specifically about psychedelic mushrooms (this isn't the edible and medicinal forum) then I'm assuming you're making drugs.

No matter how long you've known her, it's still not a good idea to tell anyone. You wouldn't be the first to get turned in by a partner and I've heard of it happening with relationships that lasted way longer than 10 years.

This is your entire life you're risking. Act like it.

I appreciate the concern, but she is way this side of trustworthy, we are basically common law married. My interests go a lot further than making drugs, I'm working on 10 medical/edible projects for each of the actives, and her whole family has cultivated mushrooms for 150 yrs, I'd be stupid not to learn from her

lmao aint that the truth!! makes me feel like shaq

btw i snapped a shot of the isle that has the giant steamers at one of the markets:



all these things are much bigger than they look, 20-60+qt, and those giant steamers can be used for everything from simmering 3 gallons of grains or pasteurizing 3x what can fit in my AA 921

so i cannot stress enough how AWESOME asian stores are for buying cultivation supplies... im surprised they dont have spawn bottles and auto g2g machines!!

they have HUGE colanders, like large enough to fit an asian woman in (or like, a 50lb sack of grain), industrial mortar and pestles, agar agar, all kinds of commercial cooking stuff, strainers, pots big enough to fit TWO asian women in, any kind of propane accessory you could need, roaster ovens, all kinds of good stuff

Honestly, I've always just run in, grab the telephone packages and run out. Never really looked around before. I will definetly check it out the next time I re-up on agar

more excellent mush cult supplies available at asian stores:

my favorite 2 types of agar agar, and the cheapest:


other types of agar agar, some would be ok, others wouldnt. the main thing to check for is the sugar content (ideally you want 0g sugar). some of these products are sold as desert mixes, but the one we want is totally flavorless and sugarless:



giant mixing vessels, colanders big enough to fit 3 asian women in (really simplifies grain prep), huge pots (commercial size), and even a brick stove that you could use to run a PC with WOOD in the middle of a jungle!! kinda unreal, makes a lot of sense why mush cult is so much more advanced and more popular in the far east:

Damn I wish I had a Asian market like that.  Every one around me is about a 250 sq ft hole in the wall that smell like I fell into a large spice pot.  I feel like staying in there too long makes me guilty of some crime I didn't commit and the amount of dirt on the floor makes me need a shower after getting home.  They always have my agar though! :awedance:

The closest Asian market to me is a 45 min drive, which fucking sucks. Thankfully I'm a 3 min walk to two dollar stores which are huge and carry a tremendous amount of items that could be used in our hobby.

Sadly, they don't carry agar lol thankfully amazon prime hooked me up Friday. 5 ounces of agar will be here on Wednesday, along with an xacto and a new bulb for my giant lava lamp :scarybeat:

Also got some Peruvian torch seeds otw.
But dammit, I wish I was closer to an Asian store. I'd be there everyday just staring at the isles thinking of new ideas.
